雅思考试高频话题教育类的话题，往往都会对于学生的范围有明确的规定。例如只讨论中学生，或者大学生的话题等等。往往题干中会对讨论的对象做明确要求，或者是通过年龄来限制范围。例如，小学阶段开始学习外语较好还是中学阶段开始学习外语较好。因此如下词汇需要考生们必须了解。

2、Shape a positive world view / develop positive value system 前者表示塑造一个积极的世界观，而后者的意思是发展一个积极的价值观。两个短语在教育类写作中，都被认为是现代教育的功能之一。

Besides academic knowledge, modern schooling can substantially help students develop positive value system, which is thought by educators much more significant than other things that students can gain in schools.

在学校，建立积极的价值观才是最重要的，其他的都是浮云。这个论点是告诉大家，学术教育可不是学校教育的全部。

Versatile 形容词，多才多艺的。与其类似的词汇还有all-round 形容词，全面的(名词形式all-rounder 多面手)，以及generalist 名词，多面手。

In this competitive society, versatile workforce with fairly high comprehensive quality is what most of employers are seeking for, instead of fresh graduates who are only equipped with theoretical knowledge. 在这个竞争激烈的社会，光懂点理论知识是混不下去的，必须要有很强的综合素质才可以出人头地的。如果需要论证为什么大学毕业生就业率低，就可以使用这个论点。

comprehensive quality 综合素质

fresh graduates 刚刚毕业的学生（应届毕业生）

theoretical knowledge 理论知识

Self-discipline 名词，自律。Self-control 名词，自控。discipline 名词，纪律。

其实，遵守纪律是有好处的：

School discipline (rules) is thought to be the key factor for students to develop (build) their self-discipline and self-control. 遵守纪律了，以后就能自律还能自控。其实我也不信，但是这不重要。

在教育类的话题中，其实关于语言的学习也是经常出现在讨论之列。如下几个词，供大家参考：

linguist 名词，语言学家，说多种语言的人

bilingual 名词，讲双语的人。形容词，双语的，如：bilingual education

multilingual 名词，说多国语言的人。形容词，多国语言的。

Bilingual education, where children are all taught in both English and their mother tongue, is much sought after by parents in non-English speaking countries.

PS:  be sought after 被追捧

说到语言学习，这个浸泡式学习方式不得不提：

immersion education / immersion bilingual education 浸泡式双语学习

English immersion classes 浸泡式英语课程

再给大家分享两个关于语言学习的，考官写的段落：（来自剑9-text one）

The obvious argument in its favor is that young children pick up languages much more easily than teenagers. Their brains are still programmed to acquire their mother tongue, which facilitates learning another language, and unlike adolescents, they are not inhibited by self-consciousness.

PS:  pick up languages （动宾结构）毫不费力地学习语言

facilitate （及物动词）使...变得方便或容易

self-consciousness （名词）自觉意识

The greater flexibility of the primary timetable allows for more frequent, shorter sessions and for a play-centred approach, thus maintaining learners’ enthusiasm and progress. Their command of the languages in later life will benefit from this early exposure, while learning other languages subsequently will be easier for them. They may also gain a better understanding of other cultures.
